“I think for me, ‘cause I got kicked<br />
out of social services, I didn’t have<br />
the skills. Social services didn’t give<br />
me the skills to know how to do,<br />
like, baking, or know how to find a<br />
job, or do a resume. It was hard to<br />
find housing, ‘cause you couldn’t<br />
get work. I couldn’t get work ‘cause<br />
I didn’t have the skills and supports.<br />
I didn’t know where to go at first. I<br />
picked up the Street Survival Guide<br />
and I just started calling people. And<br />
if <strong>it</strong> wasn’t for that, I would probably<br />
still be on the streets, but I was<br />
motivated to ask for help. But <strong>it</strong> felt<br />
embarrassing because I didn’t want<br />
to call someone and say that I was<br />
struggling and I needed help.”<br />
